Pearl and Silver Lace Ring
Hand-carved silver lace cups open around a white pearl. A nod to Mother Nature, the “lace” is inspired by cacti skeletons. The ring is also carved, and fits very comfortably on the finger.
A lovely, unexpected piece.
The top of the ring rises about a quarter of an inch from the finger and is approximately an inch in diameter. Hand-carved and one-of-a-kind.
